My wife and I booked a private 10 day trip around Uganda with Myler. We actually booked though Chase Ultimate Rewards portal. We had Moses as our guide for the trip and we has exceptional. We saw all the animals we wanted to see (big 5) and the gorillas and chimpanzees. Moses coordinated with local guides at the parks to ensure we had a great experience finding the big 5. He was great to talk with and was professional and polite. We really appreciated him taking us of the beaten path to see some parts of the trip that normally tourists don’t, but we had a strong interest in seeing. He advised us of good restaurants and ATMs, etc. We pivoted slightly due to weather from our initial itinerary however we still covered all the major highlights and activities promised. It was incredibly helpful to have a guide/driver as many of the activities and guides we would have had great difficulty arranging ourselves. Having a guide with local knowledge and familiarity with roads was incredibly valuable.
Communication before the trip was good and I would strongly advise having cellular access while in Uganda as it was very helpful to communicate with Moses during our time there.
The accommodations were good and varied from an amenity perspective throughout the trip. Some had fire pits and pools/lake access. While others where smaller and had small dining areas only. All the hotels had bars and restaurants on site were we had our dinners and breakfasts. All restaurants at the various properties were able to accommodate my wife’s gluten free and vegetarian diet preferences.
